EXPANSÃO DO ENSINO SECUNDÁRIO PÚBLICO NO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO E AMPLIAÇÃO DA REDE FÍSICA: : ATORES POLÍTICOS E ENTES FEDERADOS EM DISPUTA (1947-1963)

Abstract

Among the changes triggered in the political scenario that began in 1930 is the expansion of secondary education in the state of Sao Paulo, where until then there were only three schools of this type of education, with a markedly elitist and propaedeutic character. The process started between 1932 and 1947, when 58 public junior high schools were created through the initiative of the interventors and the municipalities. In the subsequent period, from 1947 to 1963, 474 junior high school establishments and 121 high schools were created, already with a significant participation of the State Legislative Assembly. This process involved an imbricated relationship between state and municipal public authorities and different social actors. The objective of this paper is to analyze the performance of these actors, problematizing disputes and representations about secondary school, especially involving the physical network of schools.
